Dog sitting for 3 weeks has its benefits! Walking the dog at Bantham 11.30 this morning and found a Kentish Plover on the tideline of the main beach. Constantly flushed by surfers and walkers it didn’t hang around on a rising tide. No pic so a cute dog snap will have to do 😜

Out and about today in #SouthDevon first Coleton Fishacre. Then Broadsands to put seed down for the Cirl Buntings. Managed to find Yellow-browed Warblers at both sites! Below left Broadsands bird and right Pudcombe Cove at Coleton Fishacre both in willow scrub.

Red-necked Grebe still, from fisherman’s platform and another Ring Ouzel in the quarry at Berry Head this morning.

One of the many Firecrest at Berry Head this week.

Image of today’s Red-necked Grebe at Berry Head, interesting to compare with the Portland bird.
